French atmospheric/ambient black metallers The Great Old Ones are proud to announce that their second album, entitled Tekeli-Li, will be released on April 16th, 2014 by Les Acteurs de l'Ombre Productions. It was recorded and mixed by Cyril Gachet (Year Of No Light), mastered by Alan Douches (Tombs, Cannibal Corpse, The Dillinger Escape Plan), Tekeli-Li is entirely based on H.P. Lovecraft's (American writer) book 'At The Mountains Of Madness'.

Please do not use The Prophet's name and blackgaze together in the same sentence

As if. Lovecraft's name is more watered down now than blackgaze will ever be.

As I said though, one's a theme or influence and ones a genre, that's the only reason why Lovecraft's is still tolerated. Not saying he's a bad author by any means, but it really is starting to get old.

Lovecraftian themed metal can be pretty hit or miss, just like Tolkien themed metal. Usually most bands that do it suck, and then there are a few gems, like this band and I would also mention Tyranny

This may not be very important to all, but these song titles are extremely unoriginal. It could easily be a cover album if one would judge just by looking at the song names.

welcome to the world of metal where 99% of all bands have extremely unoriginal song titles. Jeez the fuss people make of song titles.

Well I wouldn't say that 99% of metal bands have unoriginal song titles. But obviously I place bigger importance on this subject than others. Just an observation, no fuss about it. It is still possible that the album will sound great, but to me the song title is a certain preface before the actual song begins. If band has no ideas I rather see that they put down just numbers (like Blut Aus Nord for example) instead of severely unispired song titles. They certainly aren't the most important thing on the album, but they still have some importance.
